I am still working through a lot of my photos from my recent outings, but here are a few bird pictures from Fort Desoto on Saturday in the meantime. There is a Great Horned Owl nest at Fort Desoto that has been well documented by a lot of photographers for […]
Although I have a bunch more of the Tampa photos from my Skypoint session, I decided it was time to break them up a little. These shots are both from Thanksgiving break and my trip to Viera Wetlands. I always like to arrive for sunrise. Usually I am looking for […]
Crested Caracaras are probably my favorite Florida bird of prey although burrowing owls would give them a run for their money. I’m not sure what it is that I like about them, but I just think they have a cool look to them. In Florida, they occupy the central and […]
Green Cay Nature Center is located in Boynton Beach, Florida. It is one of the nicer boardwalks that I have been to in Florida. The wetlands is a water treatment area and it draws a lot of wildlife. It is one of the better birding areas in South Florida, especially […]
Sticking with the baby theme, but tonight back to the archive for a couple baby Black Skimmer photos. I missed going to see them this year, but I always enjoy watching them. They are one of my favorite shorebirds. It is especially cool to watch their unique feeding style, skimming […]

Fort Desoto is one of the premier birding sites in Florida if not the United States. There are a wide variety of shorebirds throughout the years including some less common ones such as the white morph of the Reddish Egret. Fort Desoto is also a major stopping point for migrant […]
Two more bird shots tonight. The first one is a cool silhouette of a Brown Pelican at sunrise. This is not the picture that I have had in my mind and have been looking for of a bird silhouetted against the rising or setting sun, but it is pretty close. […]
